I doubt anyone is still mulling these over, but if 
anyone is, or you just received the latest MM List 
Digest with the original 4 Qs, then don't read the 
answers below.

Close, but no cigar, Philip:
Both Michael Jackson and Verlaine have moved out of the 
US to Dubai (but not living together).

Actually no---what I had in mind was a little closer to 
how Keith answered:
>>How many degrees (and how) between the song, 'Flash 
>>Lightning' and Peter Pan?
>Keith: They've each got a good hook? 

That's pretty good, but that's just part of it: 
In a Walt Disney intense moment from my impressionable 
youth, Captain Hook makes Wendy walk the plank.

Flash Lightning:
"...Well I walk the plank ...
  ...... 
...Lo, and behold,
The seven seas came up,.. ."

I can hear your groans!

>between Verlaine and "Breakfast At Tiffany's" 
Henry Mancini was the composer of the film's 
music, and Verlaine is a big fan of a song 
Mancini's composed [not for this movie] called 
"Mr. Lucky"


>How many degrees of separation between Curly of 
>The Three Stooges and Verlaine's show at the 
>New Haven, Conn. show on Oct. 9, 1981? 
Keith--correct as usual--answered: Shemp (Howard)


>Why did Jimy Ripp legally change his name to Jimy Rip?
According to a former member of this List: Mick Jagger 
on one of his solo recordings,  screwed up and misspelled 
Ripp's name as Rip in the cd's song/music credits.  
To avoid future confusion, and to make sure ASCAP/BMI 
(and Jagger?!?) gave him his royalties, he legally 
dropped the second 'p'.
